Speak to HR and keep drinking. Let your boss know that the water is keeping you healthy and the alternative is a major health issue that will take you out for a longer time.

Please talk to HR and also get a doctor's note or something to back you up. That's ridiculous. Some people just process water faster and we're supposed to be drinking 8 glasses a day, anyway. Otherwise you need to find a better job who will treat you with human dignity.

I don't think she should run to HR or get surely with her supervisor over something she can control. She can drink a normal amount of water until later in the day.

This ☝️. An employer doesn’t complain about a great employee that goes to the bathroom too often. It could be she has the type of job where they need constant coverage like a receptionist as opposed to an office worker for example where it wouldn’t really be noticed.

@
prothalamium
You assume all bosses deserve their jobs and are good at it. I worked in the union and sometimes incompetent people got promoted first. I had many excellent bosses that respected my work ethic but over the course of 28 years I had a few real losers as bosses that nearly tortured me to death despite my working circles around the brown nosers they liked to surrounded themselves with. Brown nosers I was always having to pick up the slack for.

I know what you’re saying. There are some real loser bosses out there. Still, there is a way to make even the losers happy, as in the case of the brown nosers you mentioned they figured out how to do it (make the boss happy).

Yes I worked front desk at a daycare and couldn't leave unless someone from the back office came up to cover for me and so you were pulling them away from their work and if someone is needing the bathroom a lot complaints would result so I totally see that happening.

I had a boss like that at the bank , she would knock on the bathroom door if I were in there too long. Eventually I quit and filed for unemployment until I got another job and they turned me down so I filed an appeal and they had their top attorneys and I won. Got another job in 3 months . She was a mean .

I know WW encourages water but my doctor told me there is no scientific evidence that drinking all of that water is beneficial. I cut back -on her advice and spend a lot less time running to the bathroom. I drink if I’m thirsty rather than to just drink and problem solved.
